I preferred to open a new thread to get more direct advice and choose my definitive setup.
I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Laramie with 3.21 gears 5.7 hemi that currently has 20" wheels with 275/60r20 tires.
I have the 1" Eibach springs at the rear and 2.25" at the front installed on the Bilstein 5100 set to 0. Ok, it's fine but it doesn't satisfy me anymore!!
I decided to redo the look of my truck and I want to fit a kit with 3" springs at the rear and the Fox 2.5 DSCs at the front set for a total of 5" (4"+ 1")
The zone kit costs around $1670 with fox 2.0 adventures rear and 3" springs
The bds kit costs around $2600 with fox 2.0 performance rear and 3" springs
The fox 2.5 dsc with code 883-06-073 are 4" longer than the stocks and offer an additional 2" of adjustable lift by screwing or unscrewing the collar with the thread (price around $2200) therefore setting the front of the truck to 5" I should completely eliminate the rake and have a perfect level.
Can I combine these fox 2.5 with both kits which basically offer the same components?
Is Bds worth $900 more?
There is no option on zone or bds to match the adjustable fox 2.5 dsc so I will have to buy them separately.
I was also thinking about getting just the zone kit without the fox 2.0 for $1370 and investing another 1500" for the fox 2.5 dsc on the rear too.
Is worth ? For the rear, would there be much difference between the adjustable fox 2.0 and fox 2.5 dsc?
To recap the options
Option 1- 4" Zone Kit with fox 2.0 adventure at $1670 + adjustable fox 2.5 dsc $2200 = $3870
Option 2 - 4" Bds kit with fox 2.0 performance at 2600" + adjustable fox 2.5 dsc $2200 = $4800
Option 3 - Zone 4" kit without shock $1447 + fox 2.5 dsc front $2200 + fox 2.5 dsc rear $1500 = $5147
I want to run with my 33" wheels at the beginning and only after they have worn out move to 35".
Considering that I live in Italy and will have to order everything online, can you advise me if the setup I chose is valid and which brand to choose?
I'm sure I'll put the 2.5 in the front but as I don't do offroad and drive most of the time on the motorway and in the city, perhaps for the rear installing the Fox 2.0 might also be sufficient.
I await your feedback, please help me with this build.
Thanks and greetings from Italy
